The doctor called the signs leading to intestinal food poisoning

General practitioner, chairman of the BRICS Health Coalition Elena Shuraeva spoke on Monday, October 27, about ways to protect yourself from intestinal poisoning when buying ready-made food.

According to the expert, when choosing products from individuals or in the department of a ready-to-eat store, you need to carefully check them for appearance and smell, while any deviation from the norm should alert you.

"The slightest hint of acid, rot, or just "stale" is also a signal for disposal," Shuraeva said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

She noted that ready-made salads with mayonnaise by weight, especially in the summer heat, are an ideal environment for salmonella.

"Black pudding, homemade pate, bought by hand, is a risk of botulism. Mushrooms harvested along trails or canned with technology violations, discounted meat and dairy products with expired shelf life are not savings, but a game of Russian roulette. Smoked or dried fish sold by hand is a frequent source of virion cholera and botulism," the therapist warned.

The expert warned that it is urgently necessary to call an ambulance when there is uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea more than 10 times a day, dry mouth, dizziness, rare urination, unbearable temperature above 38.5 degrees, double vision, fog, difficulty swallowing or speaking, muscle weakness, unbearable pain, blood in vomit or stool.
